Nope. Scripture NEVER puts belief AFTER being made alive/born again/saved. Belief ALWAYS comes BEFORE those. They were born of God BECAUSE they believed, not so that they WOULD believe. "Whoever believes is born of God." Not: "Whoever is born of God believes." See the difference...

Not really.

No, marke, I want you to explain, in your own words, what our position is. I don't want to hear your position yet again.

Still with that straw man? Good grief, marke. What, in your own words, is our argument, marke? Do you even know? Because you are CONSTANTLY beating up a straw man in your posts that has very little to do with what we're arguing for. And yes, I expect you to try to put our argument into your...

They couldn't stand in front of a crowd and say that with a straight face, because they know it's wrong, so they had to release a statement instead, as standing in front of God and everyone would put them in the spotlight as parents who failed to raise their child in the fear and admonition of...

How about you go and read them, marke. It should be pretty obvious once you do. If you're not willing to go and read the verses I quote, what good would it do for me to quote them here? What guarantee would I have that you even would bother to read them if I quoted them here, rather than just...

As well as, if Kyle was employed, paying him all the lost wages he now has work to recover, since being put on trial.

badum-TSSH!

We're not denying justice prevailed. We're simply saying that the outcome just so happened to be just, where it could have easily gone the other way.

@beloved57 If you are quoting from a source, you NEED to link to or reference the source, otherwise it's plagiarism, and you WILL get an infraction for it.

More like a random event in a mindless system. We just happened to get lucky.

Our forum punishment system uses a warning system (what used to be "infractions") Misbehave, and you will receive a warning from the system. In case you missed it: I'm one of the staff here on TOL. I have the ability to punish users for misbehaving (according to TOL's rules) by assigning...

Deuteronomy 17 1 Samuel 8 1 Samuel 16 1 Timothy 6:15 Revelation 17:14 Revelation 19:16 Over a representative form of government? Numbers 16 Romans 13 Matthew 7:13-14 Titus 3:1 God > Government > men NOT God > Men > Government We're literally quoting scripture, and you have the gall to say...

You mean "echo chamber"?

Completely preventable. Shame on the driver for driving in such windy conditions. Shame on his boss for telling him to drive in such conditions. My company will tell us to shut down (at which point we have no choice but to do so or risk being fired) when the weather gets bad, and we're...

If simply making general conversation with you and challenging your beliefs qualifies as making you not feel welcome here, then why did you bother to join a discussion forum in the first place? As RD said, Don't be so thin-skinned. Pettiness and insults won't get you anywhere here, Ed, but it...

That's nice. How is that at all relevant to the thread? The verse doesn't say "is a a greater sinner." It says ""has the greater sin." Pilate, as I pointed out above, is the ONLY judge in history to find a Man innocent and then sentence Him to death. He's the most evil man. Not the worst...

@Sherman might be able to help with that. What kingdom? The kingdom promised to the nation of Israel (of which the Body of Christ has nothing to do with)? I'm a Christian, not a naturalist. Furthermore, we're not just body and soul, but spirit as well. Tripartite, made in God's image and...

From a couple of days ago, but I definitely recommend watching. [Warning: Some foul language]

It's worth the effort to try to read through and understand what is being said. Duh, but until Christ returns, what is the best form of government to use (because anarchy just doesn't work)? Politicians ARE the problem. The proposed constitutional monarchy is an attempt at a solution...
